What exactly are you trying to do? Maybe try to restart you G1 or reboot it. I have never had this problem at all.Maybe check with some other users.

You should change the thread title to something more informative pertaining to your proble. Most of the time, the pros on here will pass by a thread just says help because they don't feel like entering a thread just to see if they *can* help at all. Also, it might allow others who have had the same problem and fixed to easily see your problem and come to the rescue.
Back to the problem at hand. Can you use the mobile data for anything? updating weather etc? If you can't then its probably something to do with your APN settings. Who is your carrier? T-Mobile? AT&T? To check what APNs you have now, go to: Settings>Wireless Controls> Mobile Network>APNs
If it is blank, that's why you can't connect, the phone doesn't know where to connect to. Simply type your carrier into google along with G1 APN settings (ie AT&T G1 APN settings) and they should tell you the correct settings to input in order for you to access your mobile network. Good luck.
P.S. Also add more information about what's going on with your phone so that we can figure it out quicker without having to ask you for everything one-by-one. You can tell us the ROM you're using, whether this is a new problem, or something that's never worked, your wireless carrier, your SSN (just kidding), but come on, some background info could make this process infinitely faster...

so you were trying to pay less than everyone else for the same service and got caught with your hand in the cookie jar. and you're pissed? quit whining and just pony up the extra 5 bucks.

opera browser still works tho. Has to have socket connection settings. Anybody find a work around or maybe we can ask the developers to help?

'Roam-only' mode in Android on Vogue?

How do I put my Vogue Android in 'Roam only' mode? (running RLS3 of myn's Warn Donut).
Thanks

Just wanted to chime in to say that this is a big deal to me, too, but for different reasons.
I live in an area with fringe Sprint (my carrier) reception, so when I'm at home I like to force roaming on my current phone (a Palm) to switch to the Verizon tower, which gives me much better signal. I just got a used Touch, however, for the purposes of flashing to Android, so hopefully this won't be a deal-breaker if no force roaming method exists under Android. I have heard you can force 1x RTT, which may result in a more reliable signal in fringe areas.

Now back to my point...where is the setting in android to do this? Is it the "2g only" network mode?

"non-legit"??? you removed the part where I just stated what the actual Verizon rep told me. How is this not legit if a Verizon representative instructed me to do it?? I am confused. Also, there is nothing in the Verizon contract that says you are not allowed to put your phone into roam-only mode. I need to know why my post was moderated...the explanation given is not sufficient.

dude... where do you get this sense of entitlement? You're lucky he didn't delete the whole post. You're discussing breach of contract and fraud if you want to be technical. Just because a Verizon rep told you to do something doesn't make it legit... Learn to be more tactful

I worked in the wireless industry for years. Had I been caught telling a customer to do that I would have been kicked out the front door. That rep had some guts.
What you asked is a touchy subject though as roaming to breach contract is network fraud in the US.

Just to be clear on this, I read the whole Verion TOS...took me 2 hours - uggh. There is nothing in their contract about intentionally setting your phone to Raom only, or any other mode for that matter. It does talk about modifying the "hardware" but says nothing about software modifications other than warranties will not be supported if customizations are made outside of the standard updates released by Verizon.
So, this is obviously not the case with Verizon. It may be with other carries like ATT, etc...but according to the Verizon TOS (which is what I am bound to since I am a Verizon customer), there is nothing mentioned about this at all.

I don't see any [voice] roaming settings here.
I have the following in the Mobile Networks menu:
Data roaming
Use only 2G networks
Network operators
Access point names
Selecting "Network operators", I get a screen that says "Searching..." but never returns with any results.
BTW, this is with Myn's Warm Donut release 3.

Still wondering how to force roaming...
Anybody have any suggestions?

Me too, but I'm not interested in breaching my contract. I just want to use the Verizon tower when I'm at home.
Here's a method that's been reported to work on the Hero and Moment. I may try it on my Vogue.
Also, the general lack of roaming settings for CDMA Android has been flagged as an issue on Google code. I urge everyone to go to the issue page, scroll down to the bottom, and click the star to raise the priority level of this issue. Thanks in advance.

Update
Attempting the method posted by KERKEDAGAIN (quoted below), I cannot get my Vogue to show up as a port on my Vista box. I've tried installing various drivers, with no luck.
KERKEDAGAIN said:
Alright folks..I think i may have stumbled upon a workaround to force roaming!!
Procedure:
1. Download and install the diagnostics drivers for the Hero
2. Download the latest version of QPST (i'm using 2.7 build 323)
3. On your phone make sure USB debugging is turned on and push ##3424# in your phone keypad
4. Plug your phone in via USB and install the diagnostics drivers when prompted
5. If you've installed the drivers correctly, you should be able to go to Device Manager in control panel and see it registered as a COM port/USB diagnostic device
6. Next open QPST Service Programming>Connection>New. You should see your phone/COM port and you obviously choose that.
7. Choose "Read from phone" in the lower left hand of the window, after which you'll be prompted for your service programming code/MSL (Google your way to find it if you don't already have it)
8. Whence you have entered that code you'll see your phone info around
9. Go to the System tab (5th tab in my setup)
10. NOW..what worked for me was this setup: Preferred Mode: Digital Only (upon further investigation, apparently "Automatic" works as well) Band Preference: A Only (as a side note B Only worked for me as well) Roam Preference: Automatic
11. Press Write to Phone
12. Reboot your phone
That should do it!! If alls done right you should see the familiar Roam triangle over your service bars! Hope it works fer ya..to change back from roaming only change everything back to Automatic.
*DISCLAIMER*: I've been messing around with my phone's service programming quite a bit so this may only work for me cuz of some erroneous change I made to the internals. Also I've only tried this in an area that I know I can get signal at, so whether it is TRULY roaming, I don't know. All I do know is that it says Roaming in my phone's Status

Unlocking Sprint G Flex to Cricket/AIO/ATT Wireless

This tutorial is my method for successfully unlocking the G flex to Cricket/AIO/ATT wireless with data/MMS, No battery drain, no Wifi calling drain.
1. Pros. Use Cricket/AIO/ATT sim.
2. Cons. Must dial International code +1 ( or whatever country code you're in) before every 10 digit number.
********Before we start you need to be on stock 4.4.2 sprint rom with Network Mode LTE/CDMA enabled************
(The roaming option does not appear when on GSM)
Next, change theme from "FLEX" to "LG". For some reason FLEX bugs out after the phone unlocks and causes crashes. (May be an isolated incident)
*Now we need to add the APN from AIO wireless into the Apn list by going into settings>roaming>Access point names
*The APN list will be blank and state "NO APNS" this is normal. Hit the menu button and add the AIO wireless APN settings from
http://buzzmobile.us/aio-wireless-apn-settings-internet-mms/
When completed you will need to press the back button and once again you will be greeted with a blank APN screen. Don't worry it's there.
Follow the instructions for root + unlocking the phone here. Total commander doesn't work on 4.4.2, don't use it, do it all with Root Browser (Get from Play Store).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50477852
After you are finished you should be rooted, successfully finished removing bloatware and left with a half unlocked phone.
Now navigate to settings/tethering and networks/mobile networks/Network Mode and change to GSM/WCDMA
**********************You are finished with this portion of the Tutorial***********************
*Fun Part*
1. Download Rom toolbox on your phone, the free/lite version is fine.
2. Navigate to build.prop editor
3. Find and change the settings listed..
ro.carrier=spr (spr to lowercase)
ro.build.target_operator=spr (spr to lowercase)
persist.service.crash.enable=1
Lets keep something in mind here... Once you change these settings you will need to restart your phone and you will be unlocked for Cricket/AIO/ATT networks, however, at this time you should know that if you venture back into network mode and happen to change your settings back to LTE/CDMA, you will lose the ability to change your network mode back to GSM UNLESS you revert the build.prop changes listed above. You can actively switch from LTE/CDMA and GSM by this method although I don't see why anyone would..
At this point you should have Talk/Text/Data/MMS...If not, you may have done something wrong.
**More funner part***
At this point in the tutorial your phone is doing two things.
1. It lies when it says its only on GSM/WCDMA
2. Rapidly draining the S#$% out of your battery.
We need the MSL Code so we may dial ##DATA# in your phone and access LTE settings.
Follow this Tutorial for retrieving your MSL code.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47324060
After you obtain the MSL pull up the phone application and dial ##DATA#(3282) Navigate into LTE and disable LTE/Band 26/Band 41
When you back out of the menu your phone will restart and stop continuously looking for LTE Radio.
**Final touches**
Remove all and I mean ALL sprint and preloaded wifi calling applications if you experience wifi calling battery draining. For some reason wifi calling spazzes out.
I'm not going to list the apk's because it may be an isolated incident and if you find out wifi calling is draining your battery just long press it in battery stats and go to "APP INFO" and find out what it is named and remove it with root browser...
I have been on Cricket/AIO wireless for two weeks now with HSPA+ and enjoying it.
This method may work with other carriers who knows.
**Food for thought**
1. When I change the ro.carrier settings from lowercase spr to ndo like in the APN i got a cool h+ instead of GSM.
2. I have not been able to wifi tether yet with cricket and I'm actively looking for a way now..
3. Think anyone else has issues with the FLEX theme crashing?

thanks.

If you don't mind how much do you pay? Will this work with a T-Mobile Flex? I'm pretty happy with T-Mobile since I got my discount back. I have 4 lines so it's around 25 bucks in savings a month.

It should work with t-mobile, i don't see why not, instead of ATT/AIO apn's just add a Tmobile apn and make sure that you have some time to play with the build.prop settings for example...
ro.carrier = spr can be changed to ndo and still work because "in theory" it matches the APN.
After adding the tmobile apn setting, changing ro.carrier to " t-mobile" to match the apn might work .
Try it out and see!
p.s i would leave ro.build.target_operator=spr alone, if all else fails you can change this too.

Thanks for the guide . I picked up a sprint g flex and lg g2 cheap, used your guide on both. Enjoying them on NET10 in the states.
patiently waiting for a custom recovery for kitkat on the flex.

interesting thread. i keep running into an issue though. as soon as i reboot after changing the stuff it reverts to where i was before and nothing saved. any suggestions? root is fine...
awesome stuff here i really want to see this happen on my flex!

Wont allow apn change
so i got stuck with a simple issue. when i go into the apn list there is an apn there already.
cinet.spcs
and when i press the menu key it is not showing the add feature to be able to add the new apn as described in the thread.

after doing these I noticed when opening Wifi it force closes and says "Unfortunantley, Settings has stopped"
only wifi that works is the one i used before doing these mods wont allow adding others
also have tried various wifi repair apps

working for me but getting tons of systemui crashes

Concerning the errors that appear often but I came out I did this : I returned and change in the build prop, spr for SPR capitalized and not returned to me the problem also remove the option to persist crash : 0 , take into GSM mode UMTS network selection mobile. I'm in version 4.4

Not working for me.
I tried this 3 times. Once with stock 4.4.2. Once downgraded to 4.2.2 and another time after updating back to 4.4.2 from OTA. All failed. Could not get any sim to be recognized. I am a smart guy and have done much more complicated methods of flashing, rooting, etc. for Android phones. But this just does not work. The phone states no SIM when I put my Cricket SIM in it. But when I put the Sprint SIM back, it reads it.
Any help would be GREATLY accepted. Thank you.
PS: I called Sprint because this is a clean phone. When I asked for the unlock code they gave me the MSL. I have a feeling that is incorrect but I could be wrong. After an hour on the phone, they said that is the unlock code. No matter how much I tried to tell them it's not.

Maybe this is a better guide for you:
http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-sim-unlock-sprint-lg-g2-ls980/
The Sim unlock does work, I've been using my sprint g flex on cricket for 6 months or so , but only with H+ .
You don't really need the msl or have the phone in good standing (blacklisted is OK).
If the Sim isn't being recognized that means you didn't do the folder replacement right. I had trouble at this part, which was solved by using the app "ROM toolbox". It took a few tries.
As far as changing the APN , just use any shortcut app on the playstore.
For switching bands, use the app " network" from the playstore. No msl needed.

Did you use the files from my link? Flex specific?
Don't use total commander.
What software version are you on?
Even after the FC, does it recognize your Sim?
You must also change the build prop, just realize the guide doesn't have that. Probably why your getting FCs.
Save a copy before making changes:
ro.carrier=spr
ro.build.target_operator=spr
persist.service.crash.enable=1

Sweet. Glad you got it.
The only trouble I have had with this method is if the phone shuts off or I restart, I have to switch the bands back to GSM.

Lenovo K3 Note: Internet And MMS APN Settings?

Trouble with my Lenovo K3 Note... Can ANYONE help me? Pleeease! Thanks in advance!
Hello, all! I am new to the site and have taken a few minutes to look around a little, and I must say... I'm super excited to get to interact with you all! I love learning new things and meeting new people who have some intelligence about them. I love phones [Android, of course!], and just about anything technical, however, I am new to all of the developers stuff but sooo looking forward to learning everything! I'm a quick learner and can usually so something after seeing it once, or being explained something once. Anyway, I'm sure you all are thinking "Get to the issue, woman!" (then again, you're probably not even thinking that lol). I'm here hoping and praying that I can get somewhere with my Lenovo K3 Note. I recently bought this phone form a guy who had it for about a month until his company provided him with a company phone, therefore he didn't need t any longer. I was stoked about getting the phone, it really looked like an awesome phone! Well, the guy I bought the phone from is obviously a tech guy as well because he was rooted the phone and put a stock ROM on the phone (I think I said that right?). I am with Straight Talk for my service, and while I've finally got my text message to work, no matter what I do with the APN settings (on a T-Mobile SIM), I'm not getting any internet or MMS. Can anyone help me, please?! I am sooo lost right now, and it's been two days that I've been working on this phone, hoping I can get it to work. I really, REALLY like this phone, and don't want to have to get another one. If anyone could please help me, I would be forever indebted! Seriously, I would be so grateful for any/all help! Thanks so much in advance, everyone!

I don't know that I can help you since I have no knowledge of T-Mobile or Straight Talk, but before anyone will be able to help you we need to know what ROM you are running. Go to 'Settings->About phone->Device information' and tell us what the Build number is.

Thank you so much for your response! I am not actually a T-Mobile customer, I am actually a Straight Talk customer, however, using a T-Mobile SIM card. I have set, reset, and reset my APN setting at least sixty-eight thousand times at this point (okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a tad bit, but it seems like it's been that many times lol), but it doesn't fix anything. Hopefully, talking with all of you (people who actually possess intelligence), I will get this worked out. I am far more confident in everyone on this site versus Straight Talk customer Service! Thanks, again, for your response, it's greatly appreciated!

Yes, I have previously taken thee steps, and still a no go. It's definitely not the apn settings causing this because it shows on Straight Talks end that everything is in working order. They are sending me out a new SIM card, and going to try that. I honestly doubt that is the problem, but who knows? It's worth a try, I guess. I think it's some sort of setting or something from where the guy rooted my phone that is preventing the phone from being able to use it's data. I wish I were more educated on phone ROM's, Modems, etc... I haven't had the time to just yet, but I am most definitely going to educate myself more on this. Hopefully, I am able to figure out how to fix this, either on my own, or with help of someone from this site (which btw is freaking AWESOME!)!! Thanks, again, for your response, I greatly appreciate any/all help offered!
-Also, I am in Indianapolis, IN (USA)

Obvious suggestion: you're certain you have data turned on, right? I ask only because I find it far to easy to accidental change those toggle switches... fat fingers and touch screens are a bad combination.
Have you tried enabling data roaming? I had a phone that always thought I was roaming, so I needed to enable data roaming if I wanted data to work.

Yep! I have data enabled, however, I've accidentally bricked my phone, so I've moved on from this problem to a bigger one! lol I'm currently working on that as we speak.

Actually, I bricked my Samsung N8000 tablet too but got it working again.
Hopefully, it happens for you too.
Once its un-bricked, just download and flash the Official Stock ROM. Mine is an Indian version which is ROW (Rest Of World) ROM. Yours could be the K50-T5 and might be having a different Stock ROM.
Its better to start off with stock to fix those issues.
Merry Christmas!

APN Access Unlocked Phone

Hello,
I feel like this has probably been covered before, I have tried to search a bit, but the options that I have been finding (here and other places) either don't work or confuse me.
I recently bought my phone from Best Buy. They did not have a verizon note 8 in stock, but did have an unlocked one in stock. I was told that there was no difference and that it would be better ie. no verizon bloatware.
I thought that this would be a great deal and bought the phone, best buy swapped everything over for me (did not transfer apps and such as I wanted to go through and pick what I wanted to keep). Phone has worked great until 2 days ago (I've had it for just over a week now). I bought it when I was on the road down in Wyoming. Everything functioned like it should.
I travel home to North Dakota and try to send some pictures through text message...MMS? It had been a few days since I had tried it but I get an error. It says "Service not activated on network" and then "server response error". After spending an hour in the verizon store trying to solve this on the phone with a level 2 tech at verizon, they concluded that they weren't able to figure it out because I was running different software than they were used to. They are currently investigating it and will get back to me. I feel that chances are that since I did not get a Verizon phone they will probably just tell me not our problem and good luck!
Anyways, I feel that this is probably an issue with the APN settings, however my phone has them greyed out, I cannot do anything with them. I have researched a few different options, including rooting (don't really want to do) and none of them seem to work. I was hoping that you guys could help me out! I apologize if this isn't the correct forum, I just saw that there seems to be a great wealth of information on here and figured I'd ask.
PS. Mobile data,hotspot,phone calls, regular text,etc all work. It strictly seems to be MMS.
Thanks!

There is an add button in the apn settings. If the greyed out are not correct, you can add your own and then use them.

Thanks for the response!
Unfortunately even that is greyed out as well. Clicking it doesn't do anything. Also their are three little dots next to the add button and that brings up a greyed out "restore to default" clicking that doesn't do anything either.
On the apn screen it says something along the lines of "current user profile does not have access". I'm starting to think this is something verizon built into the phone or sim card, any other issue I've found similar to mine all seems to be related to Verizon.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!

Mod Edit
This is strictly related to apn settings, so you might be able to fix this issue

Thanks! I haven't had time to try these but I hopefully can this evening.
Thanks for the responses!

Hey, did you find a solution for editing the APN?

No I didn't...it's all locked by the Verizon sim card. I had to get Best Buy to swap me over to a Verizon phone.
Very unfortunate that they decide to do this.

Well I have a unlocked note 8 on metro and I can edit the apn. You can try to update phone see if th that works. Pr a factory reset.

download quick shortcut maker, search for lte, select com.test.LTEfunctionality, scroll down to LTE APN Setting, Edit APN @heepo18
